God connected me with Pure Joy International in 2007 after he revealed to me that my people group is ‘missionary women serving abroad’ and my purpose is to love, pray, and minister to them. Romania 2026 is my 11th trip with the ministry as I have also been a team member to Poland, Tanzania, Malaysia, Costa Rica, Spain, Brazil, The Republic of Georgia, Mongolia, Kenya, and Thailand.

My family are charter members of Evergreen Church in Bixby, OK. My husband Daniel and I have been married for 29 years and we have two daughters; Rylie is 23, in graduate school, and a newlywed; Ryane is 20 and a second year student at John Brown University in Siloam Springs, AR.

I work outside the home as a bank Credit Manager. My hobbies include reading, traveling, shopping, exploring, and decorating. We are in a busy and transitional time of life but trying to maximize and enjoy our family time as we know our opportunities with the girls are limited.
